Etymological dictionaries claim that the word daughter-in-law goes back to the same basis as that of the son. Dahl, after the title of the dictionary entry "in-law" in brackets added: "that is synoxa". However, some, including "the Etymological dictionary M. Vasmer," indicate the relationship of the word with the Indo-European root sneu – knit. Hence the Russian "warp", displaying the value of: "daughter-in-law – then glue". In common parlance, a good daughter-in-law mother-in-law calls snosenko.
